This is simply a very beautiful and rare video. I wonder if Zakirji has seen it in so many years. Sadly Alla Rakha is no longer however his soul and prodegy survives in Zakir but the tradition of tabla continues.
I love his statement, My life is tabla. I love the tabla and it has loved me. God bless all those who share this language of music and continue to bring people of all backgrounds together.

@smarjoramaananda I think of that often when I play tabla...I am playing the same bols as many of the greats of the past....I feel like we are connected in some kind of way which brings a smile to my face ;)

Alla Rakha smoked cigarettes.
Shame on him.

while playing his tabla, Ustad Allarakha Sahab looks like Zakir ji... or we can say nowadays Ustad Zakir looks like Allarakha!!!

Wow, all the comments here say the same thing. Thank You for posting this. It is true, that Punjab Ghrana is different from the 6 others, as it is the Pakhawaj Bols, and alot of the Tabla knowledge traveled thruout India to all the Ghranas' thru marriages. Again, Thank You

@shishyupal Hey, actually 5:10 is another student practicing. A photo of Zakirji is shown at 6:40 all grown up. Alla Rakhaji is praising him there and telling us that he has gone to America. :)
